Annual Review
World Vets in Action
A c c o m p l i s h i n g o u r m i s s i o n t h r o u g h a c t i o n
Disaster Response – World Vets provides veterinary disaster relief where animals are affected.
Direct Veterinary Aid – World Vets deploys specialized veterinary teams every month to
provide free medical and surgical care to animals in need of treatment and to alleviate their
suffering.
Veterinary Product Donations – World Vets donates over $1 million per year worth of
veterinary products and supplies to international animal welfare efforts and in disaster
situations.
Civil – Military Missions – World Vets participates on US Navy humanitarian aid missions
where we provide both direct veterinary aid as well as training and capacity building in host
nations.
Training – World Vets provides surgical training and additional education related to veterinary
medicine for veterinariains and students.
36 countries, 6 continents, 72,400
animals impacted, 37,081 treatments performed,
22 tons of vet supplies donated, 9,425 hours of training
provided
Within the first 72 hours, World Vets reached out to the
veterinary community in Japan and had a first responder
team en route.
In 2006, World Vets got started from a
donation jar and the idea that veterinarians
would volunteer their time to help animals in
developing countries. Now, World Vets
provides veterinary aid in 36 countries on 6
continents including everything from disaster
relief to community-wide spay/neuter
programs to livestock development programs
and assistance to working horses in developing
countries. In addition, we have an ongoing
partnership with the US Navy in which World
Vets provides teams of civilian veterinarians
for civil-military humanitarian aid missions
around the globe. 2011 also brought about
massive disasters that devastated both people
and animals. World Vets was one of the first
animal aid organizations on the ground
following the Japan tsunami and earthquake,
proving much needed assistance for animals
impacted by the tragedy. Our commitment to
help the animals in Japan lasted throughout the
year and beyond. Massive flooding in
Thailand also jeopardized the lives of
thousands of street dogs who were helped by
World Vets disaster response teams.
Additionally, the year also brought the grand-
opening of the World Vets Latin America
Veterinary Training Center in Nicaragua,
which will provide surgery training for
hundreds of Latin American veterinarians
while also benefiting the local community
through free veterinary services. We are very
proud of our accomplishments this year that
would not have been possible without the
ongoing and generous support of our donors
and volunteers. We take very seriously the
trust that is placed in us and we are grateful for
the support of so many who have generously
supported our efforts to help animals around
the globe.
Cathy King DVM, PhD CEO and Founder
World Vets mission is to provide
veterinary aid in developing countries and
veterinary disaster relief worldwide.
A c c o m p l i s h i n g o u r m i s s i o n t h r o u g h a c t i o n
We worked with a large coalition of Japanese animal
welfare groups and veterinary professionals to
identify their needs and respond appropriately.
World Vets facilitated the collection, purchase and
coordination of multiple large shipments of pet food,
collapsible cages and kennels, as well as, veterinary
and shelter supplies from North America to Japan.
These shipments directly benefited the efforts of
several groups including Animal Friends Niigata,
Heart Tokashima, Japan Cat Network, as well as
veterinarians dedicated
to helping animals during
the disaster. Countless
individual pet owners
also benefited.
Shane (pictured right)
was one of the lucky
dogs. He was able to
reunite with his family.
Thought to be washed
away in the tsunami, Shane found his way to the
evacuation center where his family was staying.
Scared, covered in mud with only minor injuries, he
was treated by one of our veterinary disaster
response teams and then was happily reunited with
his owner.
World Vets
donated and
shipped more
than 36,000 lbs
of veterinary
and pet supplies
to Japan.
JAPAN TSUNAMI
& EARTHQUAKE
World Vets sent first responders and veterinary relief
teams to assess the situation and provide direct
veterinary care. Our teams were on the ground in the
hardest hit areas helping pets at evacuation centers,
animal shelters and even people living in cars with
their pets to address
their immediate needs.
A serious threat our
relief team dealt with
was that of radiation.
Our veterinarians
worked quickly to
establish
decontamination
protocols, intake
procedures to be used
when animals are
admitted into a shelter and procedures for preventing
the spread of disease.
World Vets also provided and donated additional
supplies such as radiation monitors, Tyvek suits,
Geiger counters and veterinary medicines along with
direct financial support to veterinarians in Japan.
We continue to support Japanese veterinary efforts to
provide free and/or low cost spay/neuter programs, in
addition to ongoing care for the animals affected by the
disaster. We greatly appreciate the support of our
donors who helped make this work possible.
JAPAN TSUNAMI
& EARTHQUAKE
World Vets
committed to a
full year of
ongoing support
to help the
animals in
Japan.
A c c o m p l i s h i n g o u r m i s s i o n t h r o u g h a c t i o n
World Vets responded to the animal suffering that
took place during the severe flooding in Thailand in
2011.
World Vets responders aided with the water rescues
of stranded and abandoned dogs in and around
Bangkok. They traveled in rescue boats in search of
animals needing assistance and transferred them to
designated safe zones.
Thousands of animals
were impacted by the
sever flooding.
World Vets personnel
provided emergency
veterinary care and
transported food and
supplies to established
dog shelters and pet
owners. The shelters and subsequent food deliveries
made the survival of many dogs possible.
Our veterinarians visited shelters and safe zones to
address the health issues impacting the rescued dogs.
In addition, our veterinarians were part of a team that
spayed and neutered nearly 1000 street dogs during
the Thailand relief efforts.
Additionally, our veterinarians provided direct
veterinary aid to all animal types. During the relief
effort we sent 8 veterinarians and technicains.
More than $20,000 worth of veterinary supplies was
donated as part of the World Vets disaster relief
efforts in Thailand.
THAILAND
FLOOD
World Vets had
rescue teams in
Thailand for over
a month
providing direct
veterinary aid.
World Vets operated multiple, ongoing international
veterinary aid campaigns in eight different countries
providing thousands of free surgeries and medical
consultations. These campaigns took place in Belize,
Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua, Peru and
Tanzania.
Our veterinary teams
work in collaboration
with foreign
veterinarians, local
animal welfare groups
and volunteers, in
addition to local
governmental bodies.
On small animal projects we regularly see animals in
conditions that warrant emergency procedures, like
Princesa (pictured right). As a puppy she had a piece
of twine placed
around her neck as a
makeshift collar. Over
time the twine grew
into neck severing her
trachea. With
outstanding
veterinarians such as
Dr. Tom Parker
(pictured top right),
Princesa’s trachea has
been repaired and she
can finally breathe
out of her mouth.

World Vets has an ongoing effort to provide large-scale
international veterinary aid campaigns targeting working
horses and donkeys, which are the primary means of
transporting people and/or materials. Our teams provide
essential veterinary services to the cart and carriage horses
of Nicaragua and much needed care to donkeys in 3 regions
of rural Tanzania.
In addition to helping companion animals and working
equines throughout the world, World Vets has several
programs focused on agricultural development and improving
the welfare of livestock, particularly those belonging to small-
scale farmers in some of the poorest areas of the world. One
such program was based in a remote desert region of Mongolia
to provide herdsmen training and veterinary services to goats,
sheep, camels and yaks of nomadic herdsman. Another
program focused on providing technical assistance, hands-on
training to local farm cooperatives in Haiti.

World Vets was the veterinary non-governmental
organization (NGO) represented on two
humanitarian aid missions operated by the U.S.
Navy. We have been a contributing member of the
Pacific Partnership mission since 2009 and
Continuing Promise since 2010.
In 2011, we provided
skilled veterinary teams
for each mission. Our
teams worked alongside
US military veterinary
personnel, veterinarians
from host nations, in
addition to personnel
from local health and
agricultural departments.
We provided direct
veterinary aid, training,
and instruction in small
and large animal
medicine.
Additionally, we shipped a total of five pallets loaded
with donated supplies and equipment worth
$125,000 for Nicaragua and Timor Leste.
Our shipment to Timor Leste facilitated a wheelchair
for a dog named Toha after she lost her legs escaping
from a dog meat restaurant.

World Vets established a Latin America Surgical Training Center
in Nicaragua. At this center, we provide free training and
instruction in sterilization surgery for Latin American
veterinarians, veterinary students and technicians. The program
is open to any Latin American veterinarian and /or upper level
veterinary student.
The center is outfitted with
modern equipment including
gas anesthesia, central oxygen,
pulse oximeters and fluid
pumps. It is our primary
objective that strict attention is
paid to patient safety, comfort
and appropriate pain
management
In 2011, we held six training
sessions. These sessions
provided free training and
instruction to over forty
participants. During these
sessions, the instructors and
attendees provided free
veterinary services to more
than one hundred community
owned animals in need of the
operation and/or veterinary
attention.
We thank the Fondation Brigitte Bardot for their generous
support of this and many other programs. We also thank the
Summerlee Foundation for supporting the development of the curriculum and teaching
materials.
